QLD Premier Rugby 2019

[Finsbury Girl]

These are the times I wish I was in the Vegas, Sat arvo dwon at Yoku, a few tinnies and watching the mighty gallopers smash the filthBrethren, then a few travellers or feed at the Normanby, top up @ the Cacko and watch Qld belt the cockroachesNSW @ Lang Park, it doesn't get much better than that.

Now I've probably jinxed both games

Much appreciated Reg. It seems the QRU are on the ball this week as after I saw your post I checked the Redsrugby site - and there it was You have to question how GPS v Brothers is not the game of the week for the live stream, I don't think that anyone in Brisbane rugby would deny it. I know they have to spread it around a bit but surely they saw from pretty early that this was going to be the blockbuster of the first round and planned ahead.

I am very much looking forward to the game tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how the young Brothers pack match up against the old heads in the Jeeps pack. Jeeps really miss Jay Thompson in the backline, so not a lot of creative flair but our forwards just never stop rumbling up field.

Wests looks like they are going to be down their 2 props who started the season Misioka & Ausetalia for the foreseeable future.

Just saw both gentlemen were named for the Samoa team participation in a global Rapid Rugby match in Fiji this weekend.

Anybody else know of some QPR familiar names who might be involved with Twiggys Comp?

They have been missing for a couple of weeks now haven’t they ? When did they last play?

Now that Fox Sports replays matches the QRU have to set match of the round schedules well in advance, the match of the rounds for the first half of the season were set before Round 1 and the presidents and gms all across it. Easts v Sunnybank are playing for the Rick Tyrrell Cup which would be why they're match of the round, Rugby Unite has partnered with QRU & State Govt to roll out mental health first aid training, announcement went out earlier this week - http://www.redsrugby.com.au/News/Ne...ch-ground-breaking-mental-health-program.aspx

Believe the grand final rematch next week between GPS and UQ will be match of the Round.

Jeeps too good today. Great game of rugby. We were missing a few key players, but even so the Jeeps were dynamic in the forwards.

What happened at Wests? A bit of a flogging at home.

Good to see Bond get a few points on the board. Anyone with a match report?

Many errors and pushed passes by wests. Wests also had poor set play. Missing a few boys too

 

[PhilClinton]

Great win by GPS. Brothers forwards will be a bit humbled by that, they have been impressive so far but were found lacking in the back half of the game, they will aim up now and the return game at Crosby will be a corker. It was a really great game to watch.

Who was not playing? I was liking their back line form.

 

[Getwithme]

Gordon was out injured along with the starting front row + another prop

 

[Getwithme]

Paisami knocked out very early too

That explains it. How long is Gordon out for?

Not sure, but we felt the loss of players more in the forwards than in the backs

Agree with that. In the last 20 minutes they were much slower and it was easy to see that their body language had dropped. I thought the GPS backs stood up better than they have all year and didn't seem too troubled by the vaunted Brothers backline. Admittedly the Filth backline didn't get too much "go forward" because their forward pack weren't given the freedom to set this up. Very dominant game by GPS, five tries to one (or similar) says it all.

Souths forwards stepped up as a unit and dominated all facets providing the platform for the halves to wreak havoc.
Every side is missing players almost every week in this comp.

Just watched the game. South’s forwards were doing well, but lifted again in the second half once Sean Farrell come on. The backs were good all game, with their goal kicking on point. Is that Farrell’s first game back? Did well.
Wests looked like a completely different team to a few week ago. Game management was poor, and the strength of the forwards suffering without their key front line. Gordon and Paisami a huge difference in how the backs play.

Couldn't get the job done @ Lang Park, but the mighty gallopers played hard done good & some good news down @ Yoku.

Once we lost Paisami, it was just too much shifting around for one week. I heard the coach was yelling out some expletives. Credit to Souths though, they looked like they were gelling nicely.

I am looking forward to the second round clash. Will Brothers have their 3 under 20 players back? I hope so. Hoopert will also be back but GPS will have the Smith twins and Hegarty back (if they miss Wallaby selection).

You kinda have to feel sorry for opposition props when the Smiths return. You get worked by Ruan and JP for 60 mins and then they are replaced by Fred Burke and Jethro Felemi. Great to see Fred back in form and dominating again.
